COURSE DURATION AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
The Department runs a five-year and four-year bachelor degree programme leading to the award of a B. Agric. Tech. (Animal Science and Range Management).
Students who gain admission into the department through the UME and ‘O’ level results only normally spend a year in the School of Pure and Applied Sciences offering some 100 level courses. For this set of students, they must take and pass the prescribed 22 and 18 unit courses in the basic sciences for the first and second semester respectively.
In addition, all students admitted by direct entry into 200 levels must take and pass 147 units before graduation.
Colleges of Veterinary Medicine expect incoming students to have a broad background in the biological and physical sciences with students completing at least three courses in biology including general biology, genetics, microbiology as the most requested, two semesters of both general chemistry and organic chemistry, as well as at least one semester of biochemistry, and two semesters of general physics. A course in animal nutrition is required by nearly half of the schools. Bethany College courses that satisfy the usual requirements are: Biology 100, 180, 290, and 343; Chemistry 111 -11 2, 221-222, and 351-352; Physics 201-202; and General Science 473 and 474.
Other typical course requirements include at least one math class and two
semesters of English composition and literature. Another major requirement
is documented experience with animals and work with veterinarians. Some
large animal experience may be obtained by enrolling in General Science
293. Students can gain valuable experience working with area veterinarians.
Students who can claim West Virginia residency status may obtain a position as a
contract student at one of three schools: Ohio State University; University of Georgia;
and Tuskegee Institute. There are at present 13 contract seats among the three schools.
Eligible students must complete the application for the West Virginia Contract Seat, which can be obtained from the Division of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at West Virginia University when starting the application process for Veterinary School. All students interested in attending veterinary school should review the admission requirements of any veterinary college they may likely attend as requirements among the colleges vary widely.
